Best way to fix and paint wheels..?

Hey guys,

So I'm getting a set of Saab/BBS wheels this weekend from a local guy in a trade.. They've been sprayed black and gunmetal over time.. They're only gunmetal right now.. I think that I want to go all black, but I don't know if it'd be gloss black or flat black.. Regardless, what's the best way to do this..? Should I take it to a place and have the sandblast them and professionally powder-coat them..? Or should I just keep rattle-canning them..? I mean, this car is a daily-driver, not a show car, but I don't mind spending the money if they'll look really good.. They will be used year-around, so they need to be able to handle salt.. Onbiously not doing anything now over winter, but getting an idea for spring..

Thanks!
